Fuck the ATF and the federal government with a flaming pitchfork.

Assault rifles? So they were already used in crimes?

I hate that term.

Seems like they are doing this just to put smaller gun companies out of business.

The ATF sought search warrants for Stag Arms manufacturing facilities in New Britain after routine licensure inspections in July and August found the 3,000 AR-15 parts without serial numbers and a lack of required records — both violations of the National Firearms Act, prosecutors said in court documents. None of the parts was properly registered to Stag Arms, the documents said.

Agents seized nearly 300 rifle parts and several computers. The confiscation was first reported by The Hartford Business Journal on Monday.

Besides Malkowski's father saying the serial number worker was on vacation, another employee told authorities that some parts didn't have serial numbers because they were going to be used to duplicate parts of guns with serial numbers that were damaged, a practice that also violates regulations, prosecutors said.

I don't know if these allegations are correct. If Stag was making Class III firearms they might have tighter restrictions than someone who is manufacturing for the ordinary civilian market.

An Agency which can ignore existing regulations can also make up bogus regulations. If they enforce the law as the Congress and Courts decide then we have the opportunity to change those laws in Congress.

I'm not sticking up for the ATF. I am saying that Rule of Law is the Rule of Law.
